THE SHOW WORLD
ON THE WAR PATH AT JAMESTOWN
SHOW WORLD Bureau,
WAR PATH, Jamestown,
July 22, 1907.
W ITH a list of attractions cover¬
ing almost every field of enter¬
tainment and In the establish¬
ing of which nearly $1,000,000 was
expended by the promoters of the
various enterprises, the War Path at
Jamestown Exposition is a feature
which no visitor to the Exposition can
afford to ignore. At no exposition
heretofore held has the field of amuse¬
ment been more thoroughly covered
and while some of the features are
not as massive as was the rule at the
World’s Fair or the Pan-American Ex¬
position, they are stupendous enough
to give the War Path a distinct indi¬
viduality and to place it in a class by
itself.
While the War Path proper lies to
the west of the Lee Parade, extend¬
ing from Commonwealth avenue to
Racon street and from Powhatan
street to West street, the reserva¬
tion covering a tract of some 300
acre®, there are spaces for attrac¬
tions in various parts of the ex¬
position enclosure which do not lack
in importance. Among these may be
mentioned the Miller Bros! 101 Ranch
Wild West Show, the Philippine Res¬
ervation and others. The arrange¬
ment of the War Path is excellent
and there is none of the crowding
that has been conspicuous at similar
affairs elsewhere.
Old Friends on the War Path.
If you attended the International
Expositions at Chicago, Paris, Buf¬
falo, St. Louis or Portland, you will
meet old friends on the War Path
whom you knew on the “Midway,”
the “Pike,” or the “Trail,” but James¬
town’s amusement center contains
many new and novel attractions.
Among the main attractions in the
large brick structure known as “Col¬
onial Virginia,” a representation of
the old Capitol at Williamsburg, is
a reproduction of the first ball at the
Capitol, the incidents in connection
with Bacon’s rebellion and the de¬
struction of Jamestown by fire, are
notable features of the exhibition.
Destruction of San Francisco.
The “Destruction of San Francisco”
is a very life-like reproduction of that
memorable catastrophe, with the rum¬
bling of the earthquake, the falling of
buildings, the ascending flames and
the upheaval of the sea. Manager
Bullock is deserving of the success
with which his efforts are meeting.
In “Old Jamestown” there is a re¬
production of the streets, the Ceme¬
tery and many of the old scenes of
the original settlement. You may
walk through these streets and con¬
verse with John Smith, John Rolfe
and his bride Pocahontas, and her
. stern old parent, Powhatan. There is
a theater, on the stage of which
scenes and incidents of the original
Jamestown are depicted in tableaux.
The Battle of the Monitor and the
Merrimac is not the only attraction
of this nature. The Battle of Gettys¬
burg and the Battle of Manassas are
reproduced in the most spectacular
manner in buildings of gigantic di¬
mensions.
No End to Amusements.
The chain of places of amusement
is seemingly endless, and several
days would be required to see them
all. You have not yet been carried
through the American and Oriental
bazaars, the Temple of Mirth or
“Fair Japan” where you may sit and
idle and dream in a tea garden, that
impregnates you with the odor of
rare flowers and plants from the far¬
away Orient, while some dainty Ge¬
isha girl serves you a cup of tea like
unto the nectar of the gods.
And you should not go away with¬
out seeing the “Alaska-KIondyke”
which affords a perfect representa-

tion of mines and miners at work
sifting real gold; the “Tours of the
World,” which carry visitors by rail
through many strange lands; the
great “Friede Steel Lift,” which has
taken the place of the Ferris wheel;
the Esquimau Village, with its quaint
inhabitants from the frozen Arctic;
the Chutes; and the Ostrich Farm,
with its thirty giant birds.
Trixie and Paul Revere’s Ride.
Two attractions that are of more
than usual interest are those presid-
journey, visiting all the historical
spots en route, starting from Charles¬
town, and finishing at Lexington
Green, where the first blow for free¬
dom is struck, the performance con¬
cluding with a realistic tableau rep¬
resenting the famous picture, “The
Spirit of ’76.” All the scenes are
faithfully reproduced by means of
four immense panoramas revolving
in various directions, whilst the elec¬
trical effects are on a most elaborate
scale. The roster is:
The Philippine Reservation
nearly six acres and is located on;,
Pocahontas street, at the southwest
comer of the grounds. The display is
one of unusual excellence and interest
and is being well patronized. The'L
enterprise is capably managed by T. ,J
P. Sargent. William A. Sutherland is 1
president and Mr. Sargent is vice-*
president. Robert Keller is assistant
manager. The staff is made up as
follows: J. Mace Andrews, lecturer**
Edward Benney, press representative*
Frank Cole, advertising agent; Wil- £
liam Crawford, ticket seller, and Jack I
Riordan, door talker.
“Congress of Nations.”
The Congress of Nations, or as it
is better known, "The Beauty Show,’^|
is under the management of D. Earl*
McDonald, and he is assisted by Doc*
tor Gilbert Flagg, who holds down*
the “Front.” There are twenty tal-fl
ented young ladies with this attrac*
tion and they present a continuous
performance which Mr. McDonald apt-|
ly describes as “International vaudej
ville.”
The Swiss Alps.
Although not a show in the strides
sense of the word, this concession de¬
serves a word or two along with the
War Path shows. Here the show-i
men congregate after a hard day r
labor and discuss their affairs over
most excellent meal and real St.
Louis beer. The Swiss Alps

sition, “Pabst on the Midway” at
Buffalo, the “Falstaff Inn” at the St..
Louis World’s Fair and at the Port¬
land Exposition he conducted th(
“Bismarck.” The Swiss Alps has «
seating capacity for 3,500 people and
the prices charged are very reason!
able.
LOUISE AICHEL.
One of the handsomest and brightest members of the Knight For a Day
company at the Whitney Opera House, Chicago, is Louise Aichel who is
pictured above. She is quite popular with the patrons of this handsome
playhouse.
ed over by those well known show¬
men, Messrs. William H. Barnes and
Charles E. Pelton, who have at James¬
town perhaps two of the biggest
drawing cards on the grounds.
Mr. Barnes exhibits the celebrated
“Princess Trixie,” Queen of all edu¬
cated horses, a headline feature all
over this country and Europe, and the
most wonderful instance of almost
supernatural equine sagacity the
world has ever seen.
“Trixie” continues to work the cash
register, demonstrate the first four
rules of arithmetic, spell the names
or words suggested by her audience,
and daily gives convincing proof of
her amazing knowledge of music and
colors.
Paul Revere’s Ride is a novel de¬
parture in the Exposition business,
and enjoys the distinction of being
the one attraction that is in every
respect new. A real horse and rider,
galloping at full speed, make the
G. W. Davis, stage manager; M.
L. Kelly, chief electrical machinist;
Miss Hume, ticket seller; Henry Ca¬
sey, door talker; Mrs. Smith Warner,
pianist; George Tile, rider. In the
tableaux are: Harold Smedley, Geo.
Keene ; John Pizzini, Samuel Mc-
Keown, William Murray, John Mc¬
Donald, Harry Fisher, George Snyder,
G. W. Barr, Edward Williston and
Henry Eustis.
Monitor and Merrimac Fight.
The Monitor and Merrimac enter¬
prise which is attracting unusual at¬
tention because of its completeness
and excellence is managed by E. W.
McConnell, and John W. Connery.
The staff consists of J. J. Bailey, door
talker; Miss Ollie Johnson, ticket
seller: Profs. Smith Warner and J.
P. Wild, orators; E. J. Austin, pro¬
ducer; John Wallis, electrician. The
general press representative is James
L. Hutton and he is ably assisted by
Harry Daniels.
Ferari’s Wild Animals.
The animal jungle and arena of Col
Francis Ferari occupy a prominen
site on the War Path. To providj
the proper environment for thesi
aristocratic beasts, the Exposition
Zoo and Amusement company has
erected one of the finest auditoriums
and animal courts used in the country
As to the Ferari show, there is
none better. His collection of ani¬
mals is in charge of Richard Bass and
Robert MacPherson, who contribute
to the acts of daring that characterize
the performance in the arena. In
addition to these Colonel Ferari of-f
fers two women who are unexcellefl
in their line—La Belle Selica and the!
Princess Pauline. The latter has at-i
tained world-wide fame through her
daring work in the cages of wild
beasts, while Selica’s troupe of lions
gives the best exhibition of its kind
extant. Teddy, the wonderful dan©
ing bear, and O’Grady’s monkeys, to¬
gether with Captain Winston’s sea
lions offer a program that is as va¬
ried as it is diverting.
Streets of Seville.
One of the greatest attractions 0
the War Path is the La Gida Thef
ter, wherein genuine Spanish dances
are to be seen. Two sisters, the Sei
oritas. Pearl and Diamanta, of thej
ballet of the Royal Opera at Seville^
Spain, are special features
Gida Theatre. It was very diffictjj
for. C. E. Sabbague, the Concessit#
aire of the “Streets of Seville,” to find
real Spanish dancers, but he has su©
ceeded beyond expectation. Spanish#
sports, such as bull fighting, cock
fighting, etc., will be features. Mu¬
sic by an orchestra of thirty pieces is
being provided daily.
The show people at JamestowfflB
whose prospects appeared gloomy at
the opening, are beginning to reap
benefits and before the close of the
exposition November, 30 they will
have enjoyed the golden fruits of
prosperity to which their enterprif
and perseverance entitle them.

LIVELY CIRCUS WAR.
Tom North Describes Battle of Billers at
Bay City, Mich.
■What will go down in circus history as
the most hotly contested “battle of bill¬
ers" during white top season of 1907,
took place at Bay City, Mich. The Hag-
enbeck-Wallace shows had the town well
billed for July 16. All crews had gone
thinking everything lovely, when in jumps
Bt Forepaugh-Sells brigade under “Kid”
would read, “H. and W. July 16,” and
the other half, “F.-S. August 22." The
business portion of the city resembled a
kaleidoscopic view of all the rainbow’s
colors. Three, four and five stories high
and every inch covered. Instructions
were, "Spare no expense, but GET
SPACE,” and they got it.
Country routes were billed as never
before. Route riders covered routes daily
to keep “wised up” and see that no
“covering” was done. The newspapers
again opened up and column after column
ran against the tirade and invasion of
the “landscape-defiling advertisers”; pe¬
titions were hurled at the council to stop
same, but to no avail. Four days and
four nights put in these cfews; finally
they did stop and for the best reason in
the world; “THERE WAS NO MORE
SPACE!”
Both shows had to do tremendous busi¬
ness to cover the very heavy extra ex¬
pense. “Ducats,” “Skulls,” “Fakes,”
“Broads,” or whatever you call ’em, fell
in squads, because, as clever Harry Earl,
general press representative of Hagen-
beek-Wallace shows, said: “If you take
the Devil in your boat, you must row
him ashore.” TOM NORTH.

Twelve Reasons Why Our Film Service is What You Want Every Hour
- - of Every Day in the Week =~ -■
DEPARTMENT A represents the Best Film Service Obtainable. ■ ■ • - — ■■ ■ ■ ■■■. 1 --
DEPARTMENT B represents Our Special Prices During the Summer Season:
Two changes week of about 1,000 ft. each to each change, $12.00 Five changes week of about 1,000 ft. each to each change, $25.00
Three changes week of about 1,000 ft. each to each change, 17.00 Six changes week of about 1,000 ft. each to each change, 28!00
Four changes week of about 1,000 ft. each to each change, 21.50 Seven changes week of about 1,000 ft. each to each caange, 30.50
DEPARTMENT C—Wholesale Film Rental; let us start you in business. Furnish us good security and we will
rent films wholesale. You can do subrenting in your locality, deriving a good revenue. " 11 ?■■■■
“Don’t throw up the sponge” because business is not as good as it was. July and August is the dull season
in the show business, the public is slow to attend inside amusements, but don’t let our pessimistic friends tell
you the moving picture show is a thing of the past; the season will again open in August with a rush. The
proper thing for you to do now is to lessen your expenses—don’t try to increase them by enlarging your pro=
gramme with expensive acts. Take advantage of our liberal inducements in the rental of films. Electric fans
are a good investment and will help your audience enjoy the performance. In this way you will live over the
depressed season until your old standard shall return ten=fold.
